Topics in Home Automation - New Article in Residential Tech Today


 

My latest article, "Documenting a Smart Home System for Prospective Home Buyers¡± is being published by the good folks at Residential Tech Today Magazine on their web site.

Creating your own smart home can be a rewarding experience. However, like any home improvement project, it is also an investment.? And, if you expect to get a return on that investment when you sell your home, it needs to be documented so a new owner can be confident that the system can be maintained and enhanced over time.? This article explores the importance of smart home documentation and the types of documentation needed for a smart home.

You can find the article here:

Nice article Jay!
Proper system engineering and documentation is frankly lacking in our space (both resi and commercial).
I was just at InfoCOMM helping my friend Dave Tkachuk with his booth. He has a software product (Visio Template) that he has been developing and refining for over 2 decades.
The result is a solution that helps make the process of generating proper documents much less painful for the design engineer, and the results are much more readable and understandable for the technician and service person.
Its a win-win for all involved.
Take a look:


 

Thanks. I¡¯ll take a look?
